    You can always go to any boating supply shop and buy one. Though not as cool .
    Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
    I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

      Wow after all the deaths by flare gun in California you have the audacity to ask this question.
      While you're at it, why don't you just ask about all the deaths from dirks, daggers, billyclubs, clubs, blackjacks, and dart guns!

        Ammo, etc....

        Weird...

        Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                  Yup. Usually hanging on a hook for anyone to grab and purchase.
                  But not Asp batons (smashy bashy things) or pens designed to stab someone with (Pointy Stabby things).

                    There's a bit of a collectors market for those HK flare guns.

                      Flare guns are legal.
                      But the scenarios where you can legally discharge one are limited.

                            When there's an emergency/distress and you need to signal your location.

                            Other than that...
                            Areas that do not prohibit the discharge of firearms and are not closed due to fire danger/hazard.

                              And if you do discharge recreationally its a good idea not to use red flares as they may well be interpreted as emergency/distress signals by civilian and LE as well.

                              We have been known to use them in WWII reenacting (in legal locations when its wet) and are told not to use any red ones. Quite a few reenactors are LE...
